It's not even remotely the same. Yes, people like me hated Obama and everything he stood for and still do. Outside of TEA Party demonstrations, how many riots broke out, how many clashes were there with LEO that resulted in lives lost, how many elected officials blatantly called for people to stop him "by any means necessary?"
TDS folks are completely unhinged, and you apparently fail to recognize that. What sane person wants to confront federal agents and try to stop them from gathering up CRIMINALS for deportation? What sane person wants to literally open the borders so anyone can come here for whatever reason they choose? What sane person applauds judges who let violent criminals out of jail with little to no bail? Those are the things TDS-afflicted people stand for. They have completely lost their damned minds.

It’s true about viewing fellow citizens as enemies. I damn sure do, and they are. I look at it as a battle for our kids future. If it were just me and I had no one I cared about, I could easily disengage.

morally acceptable compromise
I am perfectly OK with listening to a leftist babble about some manufactured outrage.
But the same is not true of me telling them about a rational alternative to their perspective. They can't disassociate the concept that there will not always be victims of a rational alternative.
So...there will always be a need for activism and grievance.
It is the foundation for control over those who can easily be incited into a state of rage.
Be it...
freemen and slave
patrician and plebeian
lord and serf
guild-master and journeyman
oppressor and oppressed
When the Obergefel decision was handed down, many of the activist leaders looked around and proclaimed....
Oh shite, we have nothing to bitch and moan about anymore
But wait, the Tranies are still being oppressed.
Lets make that our new reason to be outraged.

It’s a shame. It’s not hard to find articles or social media posts where people (the vast majority being liberals) end long term friendships or cut off contact with family members, usually because “OMB is a Nazi fascist bigoted pedophile who sends Gestapo agents out to arrest innocent brown people and kill innocent white people in cold blood”

Really? I don’t recall riots, daily assaults against LEO’s, or multiple legal actions taken with the intent of bankrupting or putting Obama in prison for the rest of his life.

I'm sure there were so many people disowning their parents over voting for obummer too. That poster is an idiot for suggesting it was even close to similar.

And you were most certainly very irrational in real time. We had people here that would melt over hour to hour movements in the stock indices and blame it on Obama. He broke conservatives for 8 years.

Conservatives aren't the rioting type
But there were definitely some mental breakdowns. Hence the whole "Thanks Obama" meme.

But didn’t destroy cities and challenge law enforcement enforcing laws on a daily basis.

“Conservatives aren’t the rioting type”
Progressives are the rioting type.
Thanks for acknowledging the distinction. You came around to the difference on your own. Proud of you.

Trump seems to really take pride in his ability to get the people he represents upset and angry and frustrated. Likewise, the schadenfreude on this board is near constant. It makes me sad.
I have to check out from current events periodically or I’d be hopeless.

People brag about doing this to their liberal friends and relatives pretty regularly here.

ODS existed. Difference was MSM didn't push it. Well, Fox did, but not to the extreme we see today.
There is open hostility towards the opposition today.

No. Conservatives, actually the right-wing in general, have historically been know as "reactionary". There is a reason for that. They are very slow to move, but when they do the real shite usually starts.

An important distinction to make. Both sides are not the same.

Smart enough to not make any assumptions.
